My Mother She Killed Me, My Father He Ate Me A collection of 're-told' fairy tales by some pretty prolific authors. There are some really great stories in here.
You should check out any of Neil Gaiman's short story compilations
like Smoke and Mirrors (Smoke and Mirrors) or Fragile Things (Fragile Things). Also, Stories: All-New Tales Edited by Neil Gaiman and Al Sarrantonio (Stories: All-New Tales Edited by Neil Gaiman and Al Sarrantonio) and My Mother She Killed Me, My Father He Ate Me (My Mother She Killed Me, My Father He Ate Me) are a couple of great short-story anthologies that have some very strange/creepy moments.
Edit: Links in this subreddit tend to be pretty illegible, so I have included the titles of each book in parenthesis after the links for immediate legibility's sake).
For fairy tales, I recommend the following:
For mythology and classical studies, there are a couple that are basically required reading for any Mythology or Classics class. Since several people have already recommended anthologies of Greek myths, I'm going to err more on the "Classics" side of the conversation:
Oooh, yes, that sounds awesome. Have you ever checked out this collection? I haven't read them all but some are pretty good, and might be perfect for your class!
I'm gonna take a different route here and recommend books that cover a lot of styles as opposed to books that are actually about writing. I kept this one from my Intro to Fiction class, just because it shows how many new stories you can make out of ones you already know (in this case, classic fairy tales). Collections like that can give you some pretty good ideas for developing your own style :)
Edit: Long day. I no do words good.
